America's New Super F-22 Built to Defeat China
Posted By Task & Purpose
On Date November 1, 2024


The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor stealth fighter is being revamped to fly further and detect targets at longer ranges, especially near-peer 4.5 and 5th-generation fighters. The US Air Force announced the $11 billion upgrades for the Raptor at the end of 2021, and now we have a first glimpse of what the upgraded aircraft looks like with new stealth drop tanks and external pylons. So, if war breaks out with China, this is the fighter that will go into the fight. But will these new features be enough to win and preserve US air superiority while it waits for its sixth-generation fighter?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
